Efforts to nab an orphaned bear cub in Stuckagain Heights have been unsuccessful after more than a week of searching, according to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

Chances aren't improving for catching the cub, whose mother was shot on suspicion that she mauled at least one person in Far North Bicentennial Park and chased several others, said department spokesman Bruce Bartley.
"It's getting increasingly difficult. He's not coming back to the original spot," Bartley said. "The prospects are not good, and they aren't getting any better."
Efforts to trap the cub have been stymied because biologists have not seen it return, although residents continue to report it in the area, he said.
The cub's brother was captured the day of the shooting and taken to the Anchorage Zoo, where it still awaits transport to a zoo in the Midwest, Bartley said.
